About: I have 10 years experience caring for dogs, including my own dogs, and dogs of family members and friends. I have my own dog, Larry, who I absolutely adore. He will stay with my husband whilst I dog sit in other homes. I work full time as a speech therapist, however, much of my work is done from home. Aside from dog sitting, I am available for evenings for dog sitting and walking. My husband Will works from our home, and also has a rover account. He is available to take bookings during week days and also weekends. We have a secure fenced back garden for rest breaks. We are very lucky to live near many open fields for long dog walks, but can also accommodate for older or less mobile dogs.

Allana was superb. We felt very confident leaving our dog with her and she proved to be a very kind and caring. We had a pre visit meeting and were instantly at ease and felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. Videos, photos and regular updates were given and it was clear he was very well cared for and had a fun time. Would very much recommend Allana to anyone who needs their pet caring for. We will certainly be asking for her to look after our dog again.

From the moment I met Kirsty and her family, it was clear that they genuinely love dogs. They were incredibly attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. I could tell that Pumpkin felt comfortable and happy in Kirsty's care, so happy he wasn’t shy to ask for belly scratches (pictures speak for themselves). I appreciated their flexibility and the warm positive energies the whole family brought to caring for my sweet boy. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Holly was amazing with our pups, Bailey and Chispa! She kept in touch throughout the night which gave us so much peace of mind. Her garden setup is perfect for dogs to run around and play, and she also took them on some really lovely walks. Bailey and Chispa were so happy and relaxed with both Holly and her partner Nelson, we could tell they were really well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Holly again and highly recommend her!

It was the first time we had used a dog sitter. Felt reassured after meeting Nathan before the booking. Just picked Bleu up and he was a happy contented dog and I’m sure if he could talk he would only say nice things. Will be using Nathan again

What a lovely couple. My dog has had a fantastic time. He's come home exhausted after a very long walk. From the photos I have been sent, I can see he thoroughly enjoyed his walks. He was welcomed into their home and treated as though he was their own. It was clear to me that they are dog sitting because they love dogs. I am so happy that my dog was so well looked after. Thank you Sam and Katherine x

Addie was awesome looking after our GSP, Sage. She was prompt and clear in all communication, and clearly has a love of dogs! She sat on our pup for the whole day when we were visiting the area. Sage had never met her before but she was instantly comfortable around Addie. We got picture updates etc throughout the day which was great too.

Kate was absolutely fantastic. First time I’d left my dog with a sitter for longer than a night or two, and I knew from the outset that he would be so well cared for at Kate’s. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Kate and to have her look after Waffle again too

We have used Francisco consistently for the last six months and could not be happier! Our Australian Shepherd mix Ivy loves spending time with him and his dog and she is always so happy when we pick her up. Francisco is very friendly and responsive, and makes sure to send lots of updates and pictures of their adventures. He always goes above and beyond to make sure Ivy is taken care of! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking around Angel!
